Tehran residents faced a night of explosions as Israeli strikes reportedly targeted alleged nuclear facilities, with air defences activated throughout the capital. Iranian officials claim to have downed multiple Israeli drones aimed at military and nuclear sites, while the IRGC promises escalating retaliation for continued attacks. As the sixth day of hostilities unfolds, a significant exodus from Tehran has begun, though millions remain trapped in the city under threat of further strikes. Both Israeli and US warnings have heightened civilian anxiety, with residents fearing attacks on urban infrastructure could cause massive casualties. The situation shows no signs of de-escalation, with Iran warning of stronger responses to any future Israeli actions.
